The Occupational Safety and Health Administration has set the limit on the maximum percentage of carbon dioxide (CO2) in air a worker can breathe at 0.500% by mole. If dry ice (solid CO2) is sublimating (becoming a gas) in a room at a rate of 0.450 mol/min, what is the minimum rate that fresh air has to be supplied to the room so that the concentration of CO2 in the room doesn\'t exceed 0.500% by mole? Assume the room is well mixed, and the volume of the solid dry ice does not change.

Find: mol air/min
